- Now She’s Left You/Cat Meat Conga from ‘The Innes Book of Records’.
Original broadcast date: 5th October 1981.
Nobby Normal is watching TV, when a doo-wop version of what would become a song for The Rutles ‘Now She’s Left You’ comes on the screen performed by Neil with three more Neils on backing vocals. Nobby then falls asleep and dreams of starring in a cat food commercial with his wife (Julie Legrand) and a conga line of pantomime animals! ‘Cat Meat Conga’ is a remake of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band outtake ‘Boiled Ham Rumba’.
My quest is over. Finally I found a show that makes perfect sense.
Don’t start - it’s from another time and part of our history...
I agree but that does not stop me feeling slightly uncomfortable watching it! That said, my admiration for Neil Innes is not dimmed by it.
I'm not offended either 🤔👍🇬🇧
I am glad that so much of his work is still accessible. I wish the three series of The Innes Book of Records were available on DVD!
@@janetwestwood9194What are you not offended by?
@@purler3221I’ve met `Neil a couple of times in 2007 & 2019 and he said the master tapes were lost…
Neil was a musicial genius
Absolute genius RIP Neil.
I'm allergic to cats but never before feeled that intrigued by cat-related content.
Neil Innes has a dark sense of humour... and so do I...
🫵🤣👍❣️🇬🇧
There was shades of 'Sparks' in that song.
Love how some of the older songs were repurposed for The Rutles.
Now She’s Left You was actually recorded in 78 during the sessions for the original album, but your point still stands as several of the songs from “Archeology” have their roots from earlier works by Neil Innes.
Cat Meat Conga is marvellous , Here Kitty Kitty
I loved this show.
The fifth Pathon ❤
This has, bad trip, written all over it.
Wow, you'd never be allowed to even suggest this act with men all blacked up. The rest, the Cat Meat Conga, is brilliant.
Well obviously, my problem isn't that I am crazy; I am not crazy enough! Just had the epiphany
This also featured on the episode that I call The Bus Strike Innes.
Here kitty , kitty
ah different days i miss them
Eeeyum yum yum
Ayo why is Neil in black face?
'Cause Neil portrays almost everyone in this show (from this clips I've seen) and....um......he's white.
3:04 cat meat conga starts
it`s satire, as a kid watchting tv, the next weirdest disturbing thing, for me, on tv, next to Garry Glitter, was things like the black and white minstral show, silly and disturbing, scary like some kinds of clowns, can`t really take it at face value. some one recently gave me a black and white minstral 45rpm, i kind of reminds me that if i think things are weird now, have the BBC ever really been any different? and Jimmy Savile was always 'wrong' in that way young kids know stuff, to me anyway...i do prefer the Rutles version of the song though, a rocky little stonker, and instantly forgetable.
In a totally ignorant and indeed innocent way, I used to enjoy the Black and White Minstrel Show. Now, in another time, I know more and see it differently. All the same, I think we should beware of being too judgemental and just remember, "the past is another country".
@@purler3221 ....I still think it's fair to say that not all of these (and Python sketches too) have aged equally well.
@@buddyneher9359 Oh, true! Also the Goodies which we tried to watch recently and didn't raise a titter.
Oh dear
So cringeworthy how people try to find excuses for THIS guy while still justifying the cancellation of lesser known minstrel performers of the past.
Man, you deserve the pain your own zeitgeist causes you. 😏
It's not these shows that have aged badly - it's the immature society you've created today.
That hasn't aged well :-/
1. This aged poorly
2. The Rutles version is better
